The cargo was not secured properly and all shifted to the back of the plane. No need to take the train.

I know but still that is fucked up. One thing though is the driver doesn't say a word through out the ordeal.... Kind of strange.

The funniest part to me is that the Taliban is trying to take credit.

There were only seven on board. 4 pilots, two mechanics, and the loadmaster.

The load master royally messed up here. The other 6 crew are going to give him a real ear chewing when they get to where ever they end up.

After seeing that I will ensure to keep my eyes peeled while they load that shit up in the c130...with me in it. Either way it was very intense and dramatic to see that and feel the heat from it

that's all it takes to stall a plane? i'm no pilot but something's fishy if you ask me. and to not properly secure the cargo when that's the only thing the plane does?

sounds like tampering at worst, bad protocol (allowing such a high climb) at best. can a sniper rifle shoot down a 747?

Pretty scary haha, the thing just hangs up... pilot was catching it too he just didn't have enough space. Definitely weird when you see things like this that are real and not animations.

It most likely wasn't tampering because the load master rides in the plane, and if he noticed anything fishy that one of the other ground workers did, he'd say something before the engines fired up. People are guessing a tie down or some other component failed.

When the load shifts during takeoff, it usually goes towards the back, which means the center of gravity is at the ass, which means the pilot had no chance of preventing that climb and stall. The best anyone could do, which this pilot did, was put the nose down ASAP to gain speed and then climb out of that dive. He just ran out of room.

And snipers taking down 747s...

^ haven't seen anything to make me feel otherwise yet. load master could have been a suicide bomber. or one of the grounds workers snuck something in. doesn't look like an accident.

Yes. An American employee doing contract work for the military is a suicide bomber.
